mot fertile dry farming country in the Northwest,- Northern Crook County,

Wherever Madras products have been exhib
ited they have taken the lion s share of prizes.
They have entered into competion with the best specimens that
could be procured from the fields of the most productive dry farms
in the west, from localities where dry farming is a much older in
dustry than it is in Northern Crook County. The transformation
of this great territory from range to farm is a process that has oc
cupied far less than a decade.

Under the methods of scientific tillage practiced by the farmer of
today, the diversified crops of the American farm are produced in
like profusion and quality. Alfalfa, the richest of forage crops,
is an important factor in making the farmer's profits, and Corn,
Fruit, Potatoes, and Vegetables of all kinds are sure and profitable.
Poultry and Live Stock thrive, and animal health ranks high.

At 2:30 Sunday afternoon a party of
llfo-termeru overpowered the ceilhouue
keeper, took his keys and released
their comrades from tho cells. Every
prisoner willing to risk a battle with
tho guards made a rush for the gates.
A moment later the citizens of the
town heard a fusillade of shots Inside
tho walls. A bedlam of shouts and
yells echoed from tho prison. A few
Bcconds later more than a doxen men
dashed down the main street, armod
with guns and knives. Holding the
few citizens on the street at bay with
revolvers, they charged into a livery
barn, held up the proprietor and sad
dled and bridled the horses and fled
to tho hills.
Whllo most of the penitentiary
guards wero pursuing the convicts
that fled to the hills, tho small body
left in the prison faced a still more
doBporate situation. When the doors
ot tho cello wero unlocked, a largo
numbor of convicts who did not join In
tho brenk for liberty were set free
InBldo the walla. Many of them were
armed. Soon a riot was in progress,
tho guards battling desperately to
oavo their own Uvea and prevent the
escnpe of every convict in the institution.

them n glut on tho mnrkot.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines
If you want to contributo directly to
the occurrcnco of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain codine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you havo a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and otner germ diseases.
That Ib why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. It has a world-wide
roputation for Its cures. It contains no
morphine or other sedative. For sale
